They agreed to terms with running back Devonta Freeman on Thursday, a day after closing deals with first-rounder Jake Matthews and second-rounder Ra’Shede Hageman.

Freeman, 5-8, 206 pounds, was selected by the Falcons in the fourth round (103rd overall) in the NFL draft. Last season’s 103rd pick, linebacker Alex Okafor signed a four-year $2.634 million deal with Arizona, which included a $474,428 signing bonus.

He became the first Florida State running back since Warrick Dunn to rush for over 1,000 yards when he logged 1,016 yards on 173 carries in 2013.

What does gratefulness have to do with any of this? This is all business! He's slotted (money wise), let the agents and the Falcons chief negotiator get it done. They've got to decide if they are front loading or backloading the bonuses. Those are your future cap implications.
